Alma Mater Lyrics

Mother Tongue speaks to Me
In the strongest way I¹ve ever seen
I know that she sees in Me
Her proudest child, her purest breed

She speaks to me in colours
That I can¹t really understand
I only know that they are ours
And to those I¹ll proudly bend

For I am your only child
And you my dearest mystery
From an ancient throne I defy the world
To kneel before the Power within.

For I am your only child
And she is my dearest mystery
World can¹t you see it ?
Am I alone in my belief ?

Virando costas ao Mundo
Orgulhosamente sós
Glória Antiga, volta a nós!

Alma mater !

Breaking waves announce my Bride
It is the only way the Sea could sing
Legends of Lusitanian pride
He sings the words I can not spring

At the Moon Mountain six wolves cry
Your lost glory we¹ll regain or die

For I am her only child
And she is my dearest mystery
Pagan Gods in conspiracy
For the sword of Tyranny

Mother Tongue has spoke to thee
In the strongest way they¹ve ever seen
World can¹t you see ?
I am not alone in my belief

Alma mater !

Virando costas ao Mundo
Orgulhosamente sós
Glória Antiga, volta a nós!

Alma mater !

Am I alone in my belief ?

Virando costas ao Mundo

Glória Antiga, volta a nós!

ALMA MATER !
